Health Locus of Control Predicts Survival after Lung Transplant
The purpose of this study was to assess whether health locus of control beliefs measured pre-transplant predicted survival after lung transplant. Participants were 100 patients who completed the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control scale before and after transplant. Cox proportional hazards regressions were used to investigate the relationship between each of the three subscales (IHLC, PHLC, CHLC) and survival time after transplant. After adj…

Self-Efficacy and Adjustment in Cancer Patients
The relation between cancer self-efficacy and patient cancer adjustment, depression, psychological distress, and behavioral dysfunction in 42 cancer patients was studied in a preliminary investigation. Participants were male cancer outpatients recruited from a Veterans Administration Medical Center who completed a Cancer Self-Efficacy Scale, the Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression Scale, the Affect Balance Scale, and the Sickness Impact…
Patient Predictors of Caregiver Burden, Optimism, and Pessimism in Rheumatoid Arthritis
The authors of the present study investigated the relationship between rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients' demographic, medical, and functional status and caregivers' burden, optimism, and pessimism. Subjects were 65 RA patients and their caregivers who were recruited from an outpatient rheumatology clinic. Each caregiver completed the Burden Interview to measure caregiver burden and the Life Orientation Test to measure optimism and pessimism. Ea…
Effects of Siblings of the opposite Sex on Friendship
Walter Toman (1961) has presented interesting issues concerning family constellations and male-female relationships. One contention is that a person who has a sibling of the opposite sex is more likely to accept friends of the opposite sex than a person who has no opposite sex sibling. The present study, which is part of an ongoing project on male-female relationships, concerned how comfortable males and females (who are not romantically involved…
Serum Lipids, Neuroendocrine, and Cardiovascular Responses to Stress in Men and Women with Mild Hypertension
In this study, we examined the relation between serum lipid levels, gender, and cardiovascular and neuroendocrine stress reactivity in patients with mild hypertension. Ninety-nine individuals (62 men, 37 women) with mild hypertension performed four mental stress tasks: mental arithmetic, public speaking, cold stress, and a computer videogame. Cardiovascular reactivity scores were computed by subtracting the minimum resting blood pressure (BP) and…
